Most of it's conspiracy nonsense. Kind of like the people who say that Bitcoin is a tool for drug dealers etc.

The Deep Web is simply the parts of the web that cannot be accessed by indexers. So this would include all password-protected content and content behind paywalls. Many pages that are the result of form submissions can't be accessed, and so are part of the Deep Web, or anything behind a CAPTCHA. Scripted and dynamic pages, and file types that robots can't parse, are all part of it. This also includes file types that cannot be parsed by a 'bot, and since that includes most binary files and they tend to be a LOT bigger than text-based HTML files, then OF COURSE this is going to be much larger when measured by terabytes.

And yes, the secret network on Tor is part of it, too, but they gave that really scary figure of 96% and pretended it was all stuff like secret Tor websites, when if you think of it a lot of it is on this very site, like what you see after your login page or where you can go to change your profile information. That's what most of it is.

The Dark Web is NOT the same thing. It's mostly older networks that haven't been incorporated into the modern internet, or it could also be secure private networks with no firewall or other exposure to the web.

Mostly all of this is an attempt to associate security and privacy measures--such as Tor, VPNs, Bitcoin, PGP, etc.--with the criminal underworld.

Thanks. The last sentence of your post is what I thought too by the end of it, but I wanted to make sure.  Glad to hear from someone who knows what he's talking about. If knew what I do now, I'd have posted that in fail quotes.

Long story short, a bunch of Tumblrites got butthurt over JelloApocalypse's "Welcome to Tumblr" video, so the Internet Aristocrat tears them a new one.
